THURSDAY EVKNING, JULY 23, 1810. The Gubernatorial Cnnditlntos and the Pluck Laws! No Declaration fur tho public eye 11 Tho Cincinnati Advertiser is not exactly pleased wiLh our notice of ita charge that Mr. Bebb had " two fares" on the subject of slavery and tho Black Lawa. In thim we are not disappointed. The Advertiser set out by charging Mr. Bebb with duplicity with favoring the entire repeal of the Hlack Lawa at aoum points and barely touching the matter in equivocal terms, etc. in another. We denied the charge in toto, and stated very briefly, what we supposed to be the position of Mr. Bebb, making up our opinion from the imperfect reports of the papera and tho brief altuaiona of our own correspondents. We stated that the question of repeal or modification of the Hlack Lawa, was not a party one J that all parlies on the Reserve were in fa vorof a repeal of theme lawa, that the iMufoco can didatca in that section of the Stale dare not take any other ground. Is thii not all true? Every word of it; and well doe a the Advertiser know it. It knowa that the Whigs were denounced far not making an issue on that question in their State Convention, and that the Liberty papers are denouncing ua at this time, because we are not willing to force audi an iaauo on the people to tho abandonment of others they (the Lewia men) profess to consider lens important. Now, all this is known to the Enquirer; yet it as eerts that the issue hat been made and is a party one ! But, here the Advertiser stops. It hnsentrappeil itself After frankly nlaling what wo conceived to he Mr. Bebb'a position, wo asked the Advertiser what position Mr. Toim occupied. Wo wished to know whether he was for or against repeal? We alleged that he had avowed himself ih furor of Repeal to his friends on the Reserve, but that be had made no de claration publicly, for the whole State. All Una the Advertiser passes over. It copies our article down to that paragraph and then stops! Not a word has it to nay about Mr. Tod's position and views. It doea not even deny our allegation that Mr. Tod ia in favor of Repeal, yet goes on to expend some miserable twuttle, long-since worn thread bare, about the consequences of a Repeal of the whole of the Black Laws, just as if we had not already slated in the same article that the testimony law was the only one that could be reached, in all probability, at this time. Our position on this point has been unchanged for three years. With .Mr. Bebb we believe that public sentiment demands a change in reference to that law. But why does the Advertiser skulk from an expression as to the views of ita own candidate? Why does it evade and pass over silently our inquiries? Does it suppose that the people of Ohio will tolerate such a course? Does it suppose that Mr Tod can have one act of sentiments for Uie Reserve and a different vet fur the reat of the Bute? If so, it is utterly mistaken. Mr. Tod must show Itia band, and having deliberately asserted that this it a pnrtij issue, the Advertiser cannot now eacajie from defining the position of ita candidate. Wo deny the parly issue and deny that the party, as a party, has taken distinct ground on the sulijccl, though we ore proud of the frankness and fearlessness displayed by our candidate and earnestly second his avowed be lief, thai the testimony law should be repealed and our Courts left without limits, save their own sound discretion, in the reception of testimony. The Advertiser tikes a ditferent position, maintains that there is 1 party issue, and yet ridiculously attempts to avoid atatiug the position of ita candidate, Mr. Tod. A singular party issue, truly, where the position of one of the candidates is unknown to the public! The Advertiser ia in a dilemma, and it cannot escape by quib Ides. Its candidate cannot carry " tvo facts," and Mr. Jtebb ia not inclined to. That the Advertiser may be able to inform its reader where the lAieofacogof the Reserve stand, and how they feel affected in regard to the black-laws, wc quote tho following from series of resolutions adopted without a dissenting voice at a Locofovu meeting held at Riventu, Portage County, on the 1st d.iy of September, lrJ4."i. They stoak for themselves : Ilrsolrtd, That in order the more effectually to car ry out and put in practical operation our principles Uon tins great and important subject, we plulge our-srlres and the Dknoiiutic r-Aiirv nf tke coun'ij, to make uar of all means eanttitntianalh in our power to accomplish the ieedy abolition of slavery in the United Stales and their territories, and p'cially to tjl'irt far REPEAL OF ALL LAWS NOW EXISTING IN OHIO IMPOSING ANY DISTINCTIONS WHATEVER RET WEEN THE COLORED AND TDK FREE WHITE POPULATION OF TDK STATU. Ilesalred, That, regarding the atrict observance of these principles in the light of our imperative duty, we again pltdge aursrlres to support no man far Riprt-irnialire to the Male legislature, trho will not attain hit Jfrrm and unalterable drterm'uatian to use erery honara-hit effort in the discharge, of hit official duties to bring about their speedy and triumphant turtttt. More Anti-Turilf Doctrines Irom an Organ of the Liberty I'rtrty! The following ia from the Cincinnali Herald nf Tuesday. It occurs in the course of an exulting strain over the prospects of McKay' Bill, of final passage in the Senate : " In fact the principal bond of union now, between the South and West, ia their identity of policy on the subject of the Tart If. The interests of llie planter of the South and the agriculturist of the West in this relation are to a great client identical. Both demand low duties, both require ample foreign markets, both Will bo benefitted by the prevalence of tin' free trade policy. It ia the bigoted adherence nf the Last to the protective policy, which throws the West into the arms of the slaveholders, and thus pcrelu.tle an alliance debasing lo the Democratic parly and ruinous to the beat interests of the country. ' It is just such atrocious expressions as the almve, from the Liberty organ of Cincinnati, that most elTec-lively contribute to render permanent the allianre be I ween the South and West; or. at least, to give the Mouth a permanent supremacy. The Herald, most atrangrly and unphilosophicatly, seems to imagine that an identity of interest will not bring about a unity o purpose and action. Just such denunciations of the East as that above, may bo found in every Southern and Western Lncofocn sheet. The Herald would perpetuate the antagoniatirnl action between the L ist and West, although fully sensible of the fnctlhat the Last stands almost as one man against SUvery and policy calculated to, perpetuate the power of the South. The anti-slavery sentiment pervades every party orgauiiation, jrckthe Herald would teach the West that she has no greater enemy than the Kast, and that her true policy ia that which will destroy the Kast. Shame', shame! upon audi counsels. The Herald knowa, just as well as it knows anything, that tho true course, if it would strike a blow at slavery, would be to lend it aid to bind the Kast and West together. Together they could wield a resistless away in the House and dictate measures, as of right they should, to the whole country. If its efforts were successful, instead of emancipating tho West from the influence of the South, they would quenrh the last glim inering ray of light that uow cheers the heart of the philanthropist and patriot. It is a libel on the West to any that there ia an iden tity of aim between it and the South on the Tariff. Tho Wcatcrn people do not believe it. The Herald dot a not believe it. It doea violence to the better judgments of nine out of ten of ila own readers by pro mutgating attch a sentiment. The western people never have been unfriendly to the protective system. Tho Legislature of Ohio, not many years since, passed unanimously a series of resolutions in favor of protection, recognising it as tho true policy nf the country both for farmer and manufacturer. Go among the opposition and obtain an honest expression of sentiment on the Tariff question, and vast majority will be found the fast friends of the protective principle. The planter of tho south, at present, depends largely on the foreign market for the sale of his Cotton. That R Would, however, in the course nf time, under a genial system, be found more to his interest lo sustain the homo demand, we cannot doubt. England ia doing her best to dispense with the use of his cotton, while lh homo-manufacturer would every year give him a largely increased demand, and give him a mar ket at his own door. What reason in the world is there, sustained by a single principle of sound political economy, why we should send our cotton all the way to England to have it manufactured and then brought back and sold to us, with the expense of freight each way added to its cost ? If this expense can be avoid ed and the profits of manufacturing can be transferred to our own people, who will say that such a course ii not the beBt? Much of the cotton it may be said, is manufactured and sold by England to her colonial possessions and to tho rest of the world. Granted. Hut, why should wo not manufacture our own cotton for these markets ourselves? Why wilt the Herald persist in an attempt to deceive the people of tho West into the belief that they., will obtain an abundant foreign market, by the destruction of our own Tariff and the Corn Law Repeal of England. Is not the fnct that the Corn Bill has been adopted, and that without knowing that McKay' Bill had passed either branch of our Congress, evidence that Great Britain has nut been prompted by any regard for this country or for principle, to change her policy? Now, if thu foreign market is of so much moment, docs not the Herald see that we have it already ? Why urge the overthrow of our own Tariff under such circumstances? Great Britain will take all of our produce that she wants any how, and we may have the benefit of protection without interfering with the prospect in that quarter. Why, wo repeat, does tho Herald hold up free trade as a boon to the west? Can it bo possible that the editor of that paper is blind to the absolute necessity and great advantages of extending manufactures in Iho West? Does he not know that Ihe great West his all the elements of a vast manufacturing power within her reach? And, dors ho not know that by fostering our own manufactures, we shall soon dot tho west with them and establish a market at our own doors? Is this not evidently tho true policy? No, says the Herald. Give the South her foreign market; let her depend on England for a market and for her supplies, as she wishes. And lei the north take, what she can get. Let her free labor look out for itself. .Make her dependent on England and tho South for every thing, while Ihey are dependent on her for noth ing. Away with such abominable doctrines. In tho name of that Liberty to which tho Herald professes to be so devotedly attached, wc beseech it to cease its attempt lo propagate such doctrines among thu free men, the anti-slavery men of Ohio. Public Sentiment anil the Tin Law The "Tax Killer" in bud odor! The tido of reaction in regard lo the Tax Law still rolls onward with increasing impetuosity. A greater change of public sentiment in reference to an important measure, has never taken place in the same time in this State, than that witnessed in rcgird to the Tax Law. Wo did not attempt to conceal the fact a few mouths since, that our opponents had derived new hope from the impression they had made against this law. When it was ndoptcd, we expected il would have to undergo the same ordeal experienced by the partial re for in ot HIJ-'j, But wu felt an abiding conviction that public 'sentiment would in due time bo set right by fuctt. Those facia came in a perfect tlmd, scattering to the four winds the sophistry, tho subterfuge and misrepresentations of the Locofuco press. Following them closely, wo witnessed the ex peeled re-aclioti. Complaint and objection in the country, we are assured by farmers, have ceased, and given place in hundreds of instances tn the warmest praise, and unfeigned satisfaction. Tho thousand-limes refuted tales of the 11 tax-killers," fall powerless upon lli9 public ear. Whigs every where, bold and zealously vindicate tho law, and pledged to it their arnest support, though it was not adopted as one- ot the issues of the campaign at first. This promptness and zeal in its defence, this willingness and eagerness to discuss, with the backwardness and hesitancy of our opponents, cannot bo misunderstood. They de. lore in language that every man understands, that the law is a good, a popular one ; a law for the people, h signed to promote the interests of the masses, and protect the honor of the State ! He who aeea not these evidences of re-action, ia blind indeed. But, that all do see it, and that our opponents understand it, ia rendered palpable enough by the altered tone of their presses, by their efforts to concent every fact cal culated to illustrate tho w ue fi cent operations of the law, and by tho prolonged silence and inactivity nf David Tod. The spirit of our private correspondence his been to us a most satisfactory indication of tint result for which we confidenily looked and labored, from the time the taw was placed on the statute bank. Our friend in the various auctions of the State all inform ua that tho cloud liu disappeared, that lightens broken in upon them, and has utterly withered the budding expectations of their opponents, We have quoted frequently from these letters. The following is a brief extract from a letter received from a distinguished, intelligent and reliable friend of Fayette County. Extract from a letter dated W tmTn, Fwf.ttk Co., O., July ?t. " By Iho bv, do you ktmw what has become of that "Tax Kh.i kh" and all the little tnx killers? We saw several copies of the first number, but the silbse ineiit mi m hen am mm tit, so l.ir as I can learn ; ami what is enually strange, the whirlwind of nonosition to and abuse of the tax biw, winch threatened de. strurtion not only to the makers of the law, but to the law its-II, has passed away and ceased Irom our midst. and the voices of the brawlers and panic-makers, ant as though tne augei o death had passed thmuirh our land and taken them all to himself. What does it mean ? They said il was oppressive to Ihe poor man welt, does it not tax all his property, the poor man's gold watch, piano, gold and silver plate, costly furniture, and last, though not least, his money al interest, are all taxed by tins law, what oppression ! What an abomination! Who can endure it? Where are Ihe tax killers, and why have they suffered tle-ir nVAf- mmt indignation to become appeased? Why have lltctr e la mora ceased Irom amongst us?

We are as yet unable to present, nur readers with a complete statement of the new assessment of personal proHTty, owing to tho manner in which the returns were made to the Auditor of State. We shall endeavor to furnish a few aggregates and farts of general in tereat. One important fie I, however, has beendevel-oH-d tint should Ixi proelaimed lo the extremities of (he Slate, a a triumphant vindication of the new Tax Law against the assault of itacnemica. It is this : The orjrjt, Vntlhj Mulct, Ihgt nd Shcrp, xi.U Jtt-l.rili:H, trill this yrar stand onthr tat duplicate at nboat Ai:i,nim,unu, bring EIGHT MILLIONS OF DOL LABS S KSS (Uh thr iionst: and t at n.x ALONh were hsttd at last ytur I ! ! ! When does this fnet place those who have denounc I'd the lax law as designed tn oppress the ftirmrr? Icl them hide abashed, twfore Ihe power of truth, and no ln rer attempt lo confront those whom Uiey have so wickedly dedeived. It ts known that horses, catile, hogs, sheep, and mules, go on the duplicate at half their value, bringing them down mi a level with money at interest, merchants' capital, An. This is what has caused the heavy reduction of the farmer's property on the duplicate, even a tier bringing on his sheep and hogs. The tax on pianos, watches, merchants' capital and money at interest, Ac, nuke up this deficiency and add lo tho duplicate about six millions of dollar over and above the amount thus deducted. But this increase ia too sinill to mako up the deh:ienry in the revenue on the old levy. An additional nidi, therefore ha been addrd. But how does that leave the rase. Why, even after adding tho additional mill, THE FAHM-ER'S TAXES WILL BE REDUCED ! This is a fixed fact, tangible, substantial, that shows to every man what kind of people the tux law was designed to affect! .i hi, Harstt and Cat tin were last year on the grand list at Jtlll?,l!H),!!M. This year they will stand on the list, after adding hogs, sheep, and mules, at about ijtlllD,V.t4l,0lM; "'n at reduction of mare than $7,IMn,fHM The tax upon the first named sum al Hi mills on the dollar, was 1,7l.Vi,V K-t.

Surh a slate of affiirs has not existed for alwut Ave year. It will be a cause of congratulation tn every patriotic and honest cituen of Ohm. The fact is now satisfactorily stated, let il be rememliered, that the revenue of the State can be increased sufficiently, under the new law, to maintain its credit, pay it interest fund promptly and prevent tho increase of ita permanent I Whig Nominations iu Jefferson County! debt, not only without adding to the tax of the farmery lUt At'TKK MAKING A REDUCTION IN THEIR FAVon! Our neighbor of the Press baa rendered himself ri diculous by his allusions of yesterday to the subject. We advise him to look before he leaps the next tune. There is not a single error in tho statements and cal culations ho has taken from Iho Journal of the 9th of June, save that corrected immediately afterwards an error that every child could see was purely accidental. Let the L'ress and its co-workers compare their predic tions, assumptions and declarations with the facts as Ihey now actually exist, and confess that they have gnoruntty or wilfully attempted to deceive the people,! From WiwhniKton The TurilT, Ac. Our dates from Washington uro up to Saturday evo- nmg. 1 he vote on the Tariff was not taken on Saturday. Mr. Johnson, of Maryland, occupied tho afternoon in an earnest and eloquent appeal in behalf of Ihe country against pirly and against McKay's Bill. When ho closed Mr. Nii.es, of Connecticut, took the floor and the Senate adjourned. Petitions are pouring into the Senate from tho la borers and operatives of Pennsylvania and Now Eng. land, thick and fast. On Saturday, Mr. Cameron, one if the Locofuco Senators from Pennsylvania, present ed memorials from Sunburyffrom laborers in tho coal mines, from working men and others, all remonstrating against the repeal of the Tariff of 184'2. He said, as reported by correspondent of Baltimore American ; I present memorials also, said Mr. C. from Demo cratic citizens of Northumberland old Democratic Northumberland which save an immense majority for Mr. Polk; from Berks county old Democratic Berks ; from Northampton with her largo majority for Ihe Democratic ticket. Pennsylvania asks only to bo let alone. Some thin if had been said hero of a panic. There was a panic, and it was no Whig panic now. It was a Ueuricratic panc, and was Hpreudm far and wide. (Laughter up.m tho Whig side of the Cham, her.)" Mr. Webster remarked that when in Pennsylvania, in IH 14, he had seen several democratic banners bear ing on their folds' Polk, Dallas and the Tariff of 1H Ii !" Ho asked Mr. C.uneroii if it was not so. Mr. Cameron a tid ho had attended ono hundred Democratic m-etings, nine of them 1 ."( miles from his home, and at all of those meetings he saw one or more banners with the inscription of 11 Polk, Dallas and the Tariff of JSI'J. And m ire, I will odd said Mr. C, and Ihat ia, that without the tariff of iHIU.the two former could not have been elected. Tho Treasury Note Bill, authorizing tho emianon of government paper to the amount of $1),0IH),IM0, passed iho Setiato on Saturday, without amendment, having previously passed the House. While it was under discussion Mr. Nile said it ought to be $15,- 1)011,000. lie had no confidence in tho estimates of the Secretary of the Treasury. Ho thought the financial affair of the G ivernment were " in a sad and pi rable condition!" An honest confession. Mr. Allen did not like the form of th:- bill. He wai in favor of " borrowing money ai individual borrowed it, not in the disguised farm of a Giivkhxmr.it B ink and a PAeKK monky ! Another ctmfession. Mr. Calhoun in alluding to the bill, said that we were in a war which, f continued, would be very expensive. Another con fession. He was in favor of a tax on tea and coffee at this crisis. A bdl for the relief of the heirs of R ibert Fulton, appropriating $7u',0O0, passed the House. One of tho Kidnappers of IMiinncy Arrested, Jacob A rim Inge, the companion and assistant of Forbes, in the abduction of Jerry Phinney, was hroiiL'ht lo this city this morning, by Constable Brown, Mr. Cherry of this city and Mr. , of Franklinlon. They found him list night at tho residence of Mr. Fleming, of Prairie township, iu this county. Ho is at this writing, in the custody of the Sheriff, but a strong effort is being made to have him bailed, by those whose sympathies for the individual induce them, wo fear, to overlook the magnitude of his crime. We have been informed that Ann it age was on his way to this city, to give himself up to the civil authorities, when he was arrested, and that his friends or connec tions had avowed the fact a week or two since. The supposition is, if this representation ia correct, that he i refer red running the risk of conviction and impri sonment to having a price set upon his head and a constant apprehension of arrest. It is also stated thai his friends, with whom ho atopjted, refused to admit Messrs. Brown A- Co , until they gave on assurance tint they would not claim the reward, alleging that Out they were coming to the city with him in the morning. These representations may have been made incorrectly ; wo give them as they were received. Re the state nf the case as it may, wo rejoieo that ono who was engaged in a deed of darkness utterly revolting to every feeling of humanity, is now within reach nf the law. We hivo no desire lo prejudice the case, as it will finally bu derided by a jury; and forbear, therefore, lo say more at tins limn. Wo would that Forbes was secured and in a fuir way to receive his deserts. Since the above was wrilten wn have been informed tint bail his been given by Armitage, in the sum of f 7.V), for his appearance al Court ; and Ito is, therefore, at large. Thoso who hivo bailed him agreed to do so before his return, as they state, and that was the condition of his return. la h is felt himielf a branded man and determined to know the worst rather than ro- nnin in suspense. The trial of Henderson and tho others orresU d and imprisoned immediately after the abduction, has been t for a special session of the Court of Common Pleas, ti cjinin-ucrt on 'he rtih day of September. We anp-piso Armitage will be tried at tho same lime. He tates, wu learn, that Phinney is still at Frankfort. Some doubt h is been entertained on this point, and rumors of his removal to the South have been in circulation for some time. Kxprnam of Congrrsa Retrenchment Insisted! Oh Thursday last, when the bill providing for the pay of members of Congress was up, Mr. McKay made the following admissions: "The expenses of Congress for mileage and per diem, were 7 17,."i.Vi for the session of Congress. Of this, some $i;t0,,V:) were for the mileage of members, and for the mileage of Senators. The ex penses n Congress were $1.1,-1 H each week, for mileage and per diem." This is a neat litiln su n to expend for the payment of nien wh i have been in session nearly eight months. without adopting a single measure calculated to ad. vatic the great interests of the country, unless in volving it in a war, and an attempt to break down free labor can bo considered as promotive of these cuds. Mr. Slewart, of Pa., thought while an attempt was being made to cut down the wages of mechanics and laborers, it would not be amiss to propose a very lit lie reform for tho home service. He proposed : "That after any session of Congress shall have continued six months, tho piy of tho members shill be reduced to six dollars; after seven months, to four dollars; and after right months, to two dollars per day." That was very undemocratic in Mr. Stewart, and we do not wond'T that ho was promptly ruled out of or der. If he wis in this Stale, ho would sec how unlike Locotucoism in power, ia Locnfocoism out of pow er! It is astonishing how economical tho Lncofoeo cadera nf Ohio are at this time. They roll up their eyes with h dy horror at su expenditure ot a lew nun-dreds of dollars for necessary purposes, now, ullhough they expended millions when in power, without saying Ui the people " by your leave. ' Mr. Ilebb nt Mnnduaky. In the very midst of harvest Mr. Bebb visited Sandusky County, yet the Telegraph stated that the Court House was tilled by those who had left all lo hear htm. Tho meeting was opened wilh prayer by Rev. Mr. Skinner, after which Mr. Bebb spoke for two hours. His address was exceedingly effective. While it vindicated Whig sentiment it disarmed oppoaition by its conciliatory tin racier, Us entire ireeiiom from amiso. He dwelt warmly on the Currency and Tax questions. A large number of ladies honored him by their pre aence, as they have done at almost every point. Everywhere ho succeeds in exciting the strongest determination to keep the State out of tho hands nf the Destructives and convinces many even nf hi opponents that a greater calamity oould not befall it than the restoration tn power of men who so lately swamped ita credit and prosterity. Finn at Ci.Kvr.i.ANii. A destructive Uro necured at Cleveland on Tuesday evening last, in tho ware house occupied by A. Loo mis as a wholesale grocery establishment. The wan' house of A. Merwin was also consumed, together with a heavy stock of stoves belonging to Woolson, Klemm &, Co. Tho loss is about $l.'i,00. Insurance on a part only. A Whig nominating Convention was held at Bloom- field, Jofferson County, on the Mthinst. Its proceedings were conducted in a spirit worthy of the reliable and untiring Whigs of that county. Nothing occurred to mar its harmony Isaac Shane presided, assist ed by T. F. McGiiew as Secretary. A Central Com mittee was apoirited at the head of which stands Joseph Beutty, of Steubenville. The following tick et was placed in nomination. For Representative, Finlkv B. McGrkw ; Auditor, Charles A. Kirby ; Commissioner, Joseph Shane ; Recorder, George Beatty ; Poor House Director, Robt. McCoy. Tho Herald, of Steubenville, speaKB of tho ticket as unexceptionable in all respects, one of the strongest ever nominated in the county and one that will be elected without any exception or reservation. Mr. McGrew is a man very highly esteemed throughout tho country. The resolutions adopted arc just to tho point. We give a part of them, inquiring only, as we pass along, whether our opponents can discover in them, any attempt to ovade the issues of tho cumpaign : Whereas, the Hamilton County Loco Convention of HI-, and the Loco tith of January Convention, of lHlii, both take exceptions to banks because thpy are calculated to uphold the price of labor and produce, and have therefore as a party, distinctly avowed their determination to oppose ail banking : and for this purpose, have put in nomination Ton, who stands pledged, if elected, to use his inllueiicu to the putting down of tho banks, therefore, Hrsolvril, l hat the issue being distinctly made of Bank or no Bank, wc stand ready to tastain the price of labor, and the price, of produce, by opposing Pot-metal Davy, and his hard money theory. Hesalerd, That wn view tho attempt of the Locofo- co leaders lo reduce the price of labor, and the price of produce, to the Tappan-hard-money standard, of eleven-penuy-tiit-a-uay, and Iu or cents per bushel for wheat, as a wanton attempt to oppress the laborer, and the agriculturalist : that Ihereby, the capitalist and salaried office-holder, may profit by their distress : anil that this low wages theory, is another link in tho cha'-n of aristocracy, intended to make tho rich richer, ami the poor poorer. Hesotrrd, i hat past experience has proven that in putting down the Ohio Banks, specie thereby, has not been increased, hut that the vacuum has been supplied by the ititroduction of foreign notes, over which our laws had no control, and which were of doubtful character, and not convertible into specie. Itrtolrrd, That the lute exhibit of the Auditor of Stale of the amount of Tax paid into the Stale treasury, by the Banks, clearly shows Iho wisdom ul the legislature, in fixing the tax ot six per cent, upon tho profits of the banks, instead of tho ordinary tax upon the capital, as being the means of raising more reve nue to tne niate. Hrsalred, That the new lax law commends itself to the favorable notice of the tax paver, in that, it carries out the true democratic doctrine, of taxing every man according to what he is worth ; and that in its operation it has been the means of having listed on the du plicate, a large amount ot moneys and credits that ha heretofore escaped taxation! Hrsnimi, l hat past experience has shown to the people, that the putting down the old banks has had the tendency nf advancing the rate nf interest to individual capitalists, from (i to H, 1(1, J0, nnd even .' per cent.; and tint, as tho rate ol interest advanced, real estate fell in value. Hrfolrrd, That as Whigs, we will sustain the new tax law up t- its trie democratic principle of taxing every man (for the support of government) according to whit he is worth; and should experience call for any amendments in the details, we hold that tho measure is safer in Ihe hands of its friends than its ene mies. Hesidrrd, That the uniformity of value of the pn- per circulating medium of Ohio throughout the State, is a triumphant vindication of tho framers of the general banking taw; and that the avidity with which locof'oiua grasp this paper, shows that their objections are chimerical. Hrmdrrd, That wc highly approve Ihe course of our Senator and Representative in the Legislature especially in maintaining the Democratic principle of taxing every man according to what he is worth. Htsol ml, 1 hat wc will contend torcivil liberty upon the broad basis of our charter of rights, " that all men are created equal," and that we will never cease our efforts by moral suasion, until every form of tyranny over the mind or person of man shall cease, and Africa's sable sous be bid go free. (TT Wo find the following in the Newark IGazctto nf Wednesday last. It displays the right spirit, and shows the justice of our remarks of Saturday in reference to the course of that paper. Tho Whigs of r ranklin expect to see those of Licking enter the dis trict convention in the right spirit, ready to make any nnd every sacrifice for thff sake of the cause, not for men. The question with Franklin and DoUwaro will be, if we uuderjland their position, which of tho gentlemen named for C ingress will add most to tho strength of the Whig ticket, and most effectively in bringing out the Whig vote. Thai question answered, whether the nomination is bestowed on Mr. Duncan, Mr. Sr NBr.iir, or any other good Whig, they will throw their whole weight in the field to secure success : Tur. Dklruatr Convention at Johnstown. It will bo seen by the notico of the Central Committee that a Whig nominating Convention for this Congressional District, has been called for the 31st inst. No names have been yet announced for nomination except those of Daniel Duncan and James R. ti tannery, E.nq., both of this county. Either of whom are qualified ably to represent the central district uf Ohio. Wc have only one hope to express as regards this convention a hope that the Whigs will turn out strongly to their township meetings, so that a full, fair and honorably obtained expression of populur opinion may govern its proceedings. That thu latter result will lake place, in all events, we do not doubt. And, though opposed to conventions, we are ready to stisUin and support with every energy, "fAe nominee" for this district, whether one of the gentlemen named, or any other, a representative of thoso cardinal principles which bind together the Wings as a party; well assured that the twentieth choice would yet bo as su Minor to the representative of Locofocoism, a light is to darkness.

Unenviable Notoriety Tho courso of Mr. Briukerhoff and his party colleagues from this State, on the Texas and Tariff ques tions, has given them an unenviable notoriety. They have brought lasting dishonor on Ohio. They are considered the very head and front of craven dough face is in. Others were equally recreant and regard le si of duty. But, to Mr Brinkerhoff and his colleague alone, belongs the honor of making boast of firmnesB that they did not possess, of independence to which they were strangers. They were not content to let their acta speak for themselves, but must needs herald to the world tho annunciation that Ihey knew their power and were determined to exercise it, to the overthrow of tho South in one of her darling projects, They had borne wilh much, but the time had come when the country was to be made to feel thu might that sleeps in a freeman's arm and to understand that the cheated and deserted 54 Id's had spirit enough to resent repeated insults and continued neglect. Brave words; but how impotent the conclusion and how unenviable the position of Ohio's doughfaces. Let them hang their diminished heads as they see their names bandied about as by-words, synonymous with all that is pitiable and contemptible. Mortifying indeed, must be the reflections of those they have misrepresented and humbled. The following allusion to the matter is from the Boston Courier. It occurs in an articlo in reference to the potent sway of tho Executive, and is in the spirit that has characterised hundreds of allusions wo have seen mudo to the course of Mr. Brinkerhoff by tho press : The matter of Presidential appointments to offices of honor and profit, was the next subject which exer cised the feelings of the doughty Democracy of the west. A re i ec ted candidate for office made the won derful discovery that nearly all the offices of note in Ihe gift of the President, had been bestowed upon his parlizmiB at Iho south. This brilliant discovery was gravely announced to Congress, as though it were a secret to that illustrious, sagacious and patriotic body, and as if the whole matter had not been previously arranged at the famous Baltimore Convention, where the south held the northern Democratic noBe to the grindstone, and dictated to the northern deb-gates a southern President, with southern measure and southern control in all matters of legislation and appoint ment. 1 he member who had relieved himself of this extraordinary confession, then most audaciously unti tled the southern members that he and Ins compatriots had drawn their car ot triumph far enough, without receiving any thing for the labor, and they should now turn baeli to seo if there was not some northern in terests which should be looked to. A cry of derision was the only reply from the southern side of tho House The dung-hill fowl from Ohio who had dar ed to crow within Bight and sound of the southern game-cock, was most appropriately scourged to his duty. The demonstration of the Ohio members upon the tariff, was a sort of Mexican prouonciamcnto. It was tun ol ttireats, nt uoinnast, ot high sounding words, hut was followed by the most rank and abject cowardice. hrom the Cleveland Herald. Personal Property nnd Tnxes iu Ctiynliogu, IN 13 and INK), The following facts we give to tho tax payers of the county. I he truth is, the new revenue law is a good, an excellent one, and commends itself to all classes of our people. If this law had been passed at a time when party excitement and party bitterness were unknown, all men, who pay by taxes a portion of the burdens of the State, would have pronounced it jimt and equal. And as it is, if the Banks had consented to come within its provisions, the lemocraev who now deal out such anathemas against it, would have been silent, for they would not have had a single peg to iiaug an omecuon on. Jiut tne banks were created the amount they should pay tho State in taxes was specified, and whether onerous or not, they preferred, or a few of them at least, to bide thu bargain, rather tiian submit to any change in the condition of their charters. For ourse'J, we know of no good and valid reason why bank stock should not go on the tax list, and be assessed as any other kind of proierly. And wc trust, that when tlx Legislature again meets, the several banks in this Slate will consent that their stock shall be taxed as personal property is now taxed throughout the Slate. But, be this as it may, the only reason why the Democratic press ol Ohio rails, as it does, against the tax law, is for political effect, lor parly purposes, for party ascendency. Go to any one oft hat party, and ask him, not as a Democratic partixan, but as a man, what he thinks ot the Whig tax law, and he will tell you, it is a good one and just such a law as was needed. We have heard leading, prominent men of that party speak in high terms f approval of that law. And why is it, that men, who are in all other respects good and honest citizens, and mean to be honorable, for mere party purposes, denounce publicly what they heartily approve privately. There is no honesty and inteirritv in such a course as this. Whv will thev not lie honest and independent, and give their support to such measurea as lend to benefit the elate, and pro mote the lie si interest ot all tho people.

The object of the Tariff bill was to raise 000,000 for the service of the year by duties on imports.It i proposed to raise this amount by ad valorem duties entirely. These dutiea are arruuged by the bill into clauses, being charged respectively 11)0,40, 30, 20, 15, 10 and 5 per cent. 1 he average ol ttiese, according lo the Committee f Finance, ia per cent. The micstion, therefore. is what we may justly exjiect with an importation this year, as nt tliul average Iho year will yield a revenue oi a-4r,iiuo,ijii. io juuge oi ims, we must, in Iho first place, be brought to the amount of last yoir's importations.By the Treasury statement it appears thai the value of merchandise imported from July I, 144, to June milli, 1H45, was $1 17,'i4,"(4. This ia a larger impor tation iiian the averuue ol the last live years. Rut this amount includes all the free articles, the-value of which ia .,H7-lll. It is said the free list will be diminished by transferring several articles to the dutiuhle lists. But the main articles still remain free under this bill. Tea and coffee and specie are not taxed, and the value of these imports last year was $l.',OI4,f4!t. Deduct this from the aggregate of importations and Ihe balance remaining is $lol,:i:i!i,01o. There arc many other articles left free, but tea and coffee und specie are the principal. Now tho sum of ftol,:i;i!'l'i, on an a vera ire dufv of per cent, will produce jft'j:i,HI4,'-77 ; bul thin is the gross product, r rom tins is to be deducted in thu first place, for cost of collection, two millions. In the next place we are to deduct drawbacks at the same amount of In si year, jSd7P,40'.l. After this deduction there remains only jftl!l,i:Ui,i:VJ as the nctt revenue from importations. If wo called this $1,000,000, then it would full short eight million of Ihe sum necessary for the use of Government. lo produce lh-se eight millions at the same ratr of duties, there wi!l be required an increased importation of forty millions, making an aggregate importation of free and dutiable articles uf $l."7,' I,.ili4. now is there any just ground of expectation that such an incn-ased importation will take place? Or, if it were possible that such an increase should accrue, enn thu goods he paid for withoutdraiuiiigthe country of specie, and efleetually deranging the currency ? Let it be remembered that to meet the importations of last year specie was exported to the amount of 1 I,. r;Mi,a7;t, vix : f sH'cie over imports of the same article jEt:t,fi!t,Hi7; and of American coin, under the head of domestic products, ft -44 ,4 Hi, making together $i,5:to7-7:i. 1 might add also, if wc expect an increase of forty millions in dutiable go ids, that we might expect also a corresponding increase in free goods.

Budding Fruit Trees, &c To lie successful in budding Fruit Trees, the operator should bo provided with a proper budding knife, which can bo obtained at tho different Seed Stores. The stock or tree lo be worked should be in a good condition, which is when the rind or bark parts freely from the wood, with Ihe knife, and is free of sap. Tho buds should be selected from free-growing wood of lite current year, and be full and plump; and, like the stock, part freely from the wood for if either the rind of the bud or tree is mutilated by the operation, the success will be doubtful; if the rind of the bud is too young and tender, il is liable to shrivlc and will never unite to the alburnum of the stock ; and hence many buds are annually lost by the rind of the bud springing from the stock instead of uniting lo tt. Tho time of budding fruit trees is from the beginning of July to September. The Plumb and Pear will be in order first ; the Cherry and the Apple follow ; and lastly, the Peach and Nectarine Many persons adopt the rule of budding the Pear and Cherry early, in order, in case of a failure, to have a second chance ; and it is generally a good method, although in some cases early budding of those trees cause Ihe hud to start into growth, instead of laying dormant, which is an objection, as they make feeble wood and are sometimes winter killed, (neither case, moist, dry weather ia prefarable for tho operation, and the morning or evening to thai of the middle of the day particularly in hot, dry trrathrr, for Hie sap of the bud often dries up during the nictation, which is detrimental. Budding should al ways be done in a neat exiicditious manner, to succeed well. Practice if lludding. When the shoots for the bud are taken from tho tree, the leaves are to be taken off, leaving a part nf the foot-stalk of the leaf with the bud this is essentially necessary because tho leaves, if left on the shoot atcr ticing eul from the tree, would exhaust the bud and cause it to shrivel. The scions should be kept moist by wrapping around them wet paK'r, old malting, grass or any other sub stance until ihey are inserted. There are various methods of inserting buds; but I shall confine myself to the most general and I believe most successful method; which is to choose a clear place in the tree, and make an incision in the form of the letter T, by first cutting through the nnd in the top, in a Iran verse direction ; the lower incision is made by drawing the point af the knife either upward or downwards from the upper incision alien t an inch this is a nice point in budding trees, as the edge ol the knife ought to go just through the rind and no further, for if the alburnum is cut through into the wood, which will be the case if cut too deep, the operation will bo uncertain ; because the very part that is the most deli cate and which is to unite tn the inner rind of Ihe bud being mutihtaled will not be united to the bud properly, and will most likely prove a failure. This being done, apply the thin end of the hart of the knife to the top of the incision in order to part the rind front Ihe wood, which is done by gently lifting Ihe top of the rind from the wood and running the end of the hart downwards on each side to the end of Ihe incision, being careful not to mutilate the alburnum of the stock in the operation, but leave it in a clean, neat manner. The incision being made fur Iho reception of Ihe bud, the next tiling tn be done ia to prepare the bud, by placing the scion iu the left hand, between the thumb and forefinger. The knife is then to be placed a In If an inch below the bad, witlt the heel of Ihe blnde, which is carefully drawn upwards a half an inch a novo the bud, cutting it out with about half the wood and bark. Thia being done, the part la placed between the thumb and forefinger of the h it bund, and Ihe nnd gently pressed back wilh tho edge of the knife, when the wood is to be pinched between the thumb and knife, and divided from the rind with the bud, which is lo bo inserted neatly in the incision, by pressing il gently down between the bark and wood of the stock, cutting off the top sbovo Iho transverse cut, so that (he bud fits in a compact manner. Then apply boss, malting or other soli string, and bind it neatly, by beginning below the ligature, and bringing il to Iho top, leaving the eye unbound, but bo careful Ihat every other part is securely bound, so as to exclude the sun and air from drying up the bud before it is well united. E. SAYERS. Ceremonies at Home on tho Death of the Pope The following are the principal ceremonies observed al Rome on the death of the sovereign Pontiff: 1 As soon as the reigning Pope had ceased to live, tho Pope's great Chamlw-rlain, accompanied by Iho Clerks of the Aostolical Chamtit-r is conducted to the bedroom of the deceased Pontiff, w here he verifies Ins mortal remains; and receive from the hands of Iho Master of the Chamber, the fisherman's ring.' This ring, and Die Beat of Ihe bulla, called thu 'leaden seal,' are broken by the chief masters of the ceremonies in presence of all the Cardinals. The Pope's (treat Chamberlain then holds a congregation wilh the same Clerks, and in this re union ho appoints all the officers of the Chamber. Twenty-four ho irs after the Pope's death, his body is embalmed. In the evening nl the third day, it is transported to the church of St. Peter's with the same minp that surrounded the Sovereign Pont iff on solemn occasions; there is also a detachment of artillery which forma a pari of Ihe cartrge. The body, thuseni-baliued, remains exposed in the Chapel of the Holy Sacrament during thrco days, the head turned towards tho altar, and the feet touching the raiting which encloses the chapel. The people pay their last homago of respect to tho mortal remains of the Pope by kissing his feet through the bars. 'A large rich catafalque is raised during this period in the middle of the principal nave of the bascilica. The portrait of the deceased Pope, and the most memorable event of his reign, are painted in gay colors, and ornament the different sides of tho mausoleum. Tho funeral commences iu the evening of the third day of tho ceremony of interment, which takes place in the presence of the Great Chamberlain, the Cardinals apHiinted by the deceased, and the clerks of tho chamber. Tho body, enclosed in a tripple coffin, i aflerwards placed near the chapel of tho choir until the time of sepulture. "The funeral ceremonies last during nine days. The cardinals, prelates, magistrates of Rome, officers of the pontifical household all thoso, in fact, who usually assist in the Papal chapels, are present at these ceremonies Tho Sacred College assemble before tho funeral mass, in the sacristy of St. Peter's and there uppoints the different public officers for the irnv- ermneiit of Rome, the Council of Slate, and ihoConclave.' 'Tho Church of Rome," say Galignani'i Messen ger, "is now rendering to tho deceased I opo its lust offices, which are called the A'otcn Diali, because they last nine days. The cardinals, formally assembled. exercise the sovereign authority, and are making pre-parations for the great act of the election, of a successor to the late pontiff, who must be one of their body. Tho diplomatisls are admitted to short audience. hacli minister, after the usual compliments, venture to give hi private recommendation, but always in general terms waiting till his letters of credence are to be announced and which must be addressed to the Sacred College, which receives them at the grated wicket of the Conclave.

All thia wilt pass on the llth inst. between 7 and 10 o'clock. The Conclave is guarded by a prince, called tho Marshal of the Conclave, posted at the outer gates. The first steps in the election will bo taken on tho ltli. All business is suspended durum the sittinir of tho Conclave, even the tribunals suspend proceedings, and the only authorities that retain their functions are the Camcrliinjui, the Grand Penitentiary, and the Vicar of Rome. No order can be issued from any other au thority without being specially confirmed by the as sembled cardinals, winch confirmation is transmitted immediately to the Governor of Rome and theTreasurer-General. According to tho custom which has always been observed, tho arrival of the Cardinal Legates and the foreign Cardinal will be waited for be- lore the election is seriously entered upon. The first may arrive at Rome, in time lor the second or third day of the A wren iHali, and the others by ttie twentieth day after Ihe death of the Pope, consequently there can be no election before the 2oth inst., unless some unforeseen event shall occur. To constitute a valid election, the candidate must obtain at least two thirds of the voles minus Ins own. If 45 Csrdiuals are assembled, he must have 'M) votes, and if there be 4ti the majority must be !)l. If the Conclave be composed of fi7 members, the election will bo completely canonical, if one of the candidate has 3d votes, without reckoning his own." Ilorticultnrul Society.

What is there a man cannot waste? and that, too, without a single instance of lavish profligacy; but solely by those minute, scarcely perceptible squanderings w hich, like the constant dropping of water upon the roc k7 wear away that which seems most likely to endure. He may waste his health by little indulgen-cies of pernicious habit by constant irregularities, slight in themselves, and their effects in single instances scarcely perceptible, but which, as violations of the laws of his lieing, will work gradual, bnt certain inroads upon the strongest constitution, until tho energies decay, the fountains of life are dried up, and pre-mature old age siuka like a crown of thorns upon Uie head of early manhood. He may waste fortune in petty squander inns lime and talents on tritles or in listlesuess and idleness. How many a giant mind hoi been fluttered away in pursuit of the belitlbnir object of low ambition ! How often do we see powers per isiimg mr ica oi liiougni anriveiing into insignificance for want of intelligence to feed upon, which use might have poluhed to the highest brilliancy, and exercise would have made equal to achieving ihe noblest purposes! How many scatter, in idleness or in-ditlerence to their value, Ihe little minute particles of time, till golden hours, and days and year are wasted, the treasures of life all sea tu-red, and Death finds nothing bul a poor naked and useless thing at tho last. SVK SAVR SAVE I What i there man cannot save and improve By curbing apjietile, and n'atrsining passion by observing prudence and maintaining regularity, he may save his health husband hi strength and thus preserve the springs of life, as constant fountain of energy and happiness to sustain and cherish him under every labor and every hardship. He may save a fortune by industry and denying himself of needless indulgence, and ho may find a pure enjoyment in devoting it to noble usea. Time ihe indolent might make wealth of it the moat industrious improve upon their use of it. tt comes lo u in brief minute to show us that present application ia the sale duty required of us; yet these so weave in and mako up our day and years, that misimproveinent of the present, is always at tlte expense of Iho future. One of Ihe hour each dsy wasted on tritles or in indolence, saved, and daily de. voted to improvement, ia enough to make an ignorant man wise in ten year to provide the luxury of intelligence to a mind torpid from lack of thought to brighten up and strengthen faculties perishing with rust tn make life a fruitful field, and deatii a harvester of glorious deeds.

THURSDAY EVKNING, JULY 23, 1810. The Gubernatorial Cnnditlntos and the Pluck Laws! No Declaration fur tho public eye 11 Tho Cincinnati Advertiser is not exactly pleased wiLh our notice of ita charge that Mr. Bebb had " two fares" on the subject of slavery and tho Black Lawa. In thim we are not disappointed. The Advertiser set out by charging Mr. Bebb with duplicity with favoring the entire repeal of the Hlack Lawa at aoum points and barely touching the matter in equivocal terms, etc. in another. We denied the charge in toto, and stated very briefly, what we supposed to be the position of Mr. Bebb, making up our opinion from the imperfect reports of the papera and tho brief altuaiona of our own correspondents. We stated that the question of repeal or modification of the Hlack Lawa, was not a party one J that all parlies on the Reserve were in fa vorof a repeal of theme lawa, that the iMufoco can didatca in that section of the Stale dare not take any other ground. Is thii not all true? Every word of it; and well doe a the Advertiser know it. It knowa that the Whigs were denounced far not making an issue on that question in their State Convention, and that the Liberty papers are denouncing ua at this time, because we are not willing to force audi an iaauo on the people to tho abandonment of others they (the Lewia men) profess to consider lens important. Now, all this is known to the Enquirer; yet it as eerts that the issue hat been made and is a party one ! But, here the Advertiser stops. It hnsentrappeil itself After frankly nlaling what wo conceived to he Mr. Bebb'a position, wo asked the Advertiser what position Mr. Toim occupied. Wo wished to know whether he was for or against repeal? We alleged that he had avowed himself ih furor of Repeal to his friends on the Reserve, but that be had made no de claration publicly, for the whole State. All Una the Advertiser passes over. It copies our article down to that paragraph and then stops! Not a word has it to nay about Mr. Tod's position and views. It doea not even deny our allegation that Mr. Tod ia in favor of Repeal, yet goes on to expend some miserable twuttle, long-since worn thread bare, about the consequences of a Repeal of the whole of the Black Laws, just as if we had not already slated in the same article that the testimony law was the only one that could be reached, in all probability, at this time. Our position on this point has been unchanged for three years. With .Mr. Bebb we believe that public sentiment demands a change in reference to that law. But why does the Advertiser skulk from an expression as to the views of ita own candidate? Why does it evade and pass over silently our inquiries? Does it suppose that the people of Ohio will tolerate such a course? Does it suppose that Mr Tod can have one act of sentiments for Uie Reserve and a different vet fur the reat of the Bute? If so, it is utterly mistaken. Mr. Tod must show Itia band, and having deliberately asserted that this it a pnrtij issue, the Advertiser cannot now eacajie from defining the position of ita candidate. Wo deny the parly issue and deny that the party, as a party, has taken distinct ground on the sulijccl, though we ore proud of the frankness and fearlessness displayed by our candidate and earnestly second his avowed be lief, thai the testimony law should be repealed and our Courts left without limits, save their own sound discretion, in the reception of testimony. The Advertiser tikes a ditferent position, maintains that there is 1 party issue, and yet ridiculously attempts to avoid atatiug the position of ita candidate, Mr. Tod. A singular party issue, truly, where the position of one of the candidates is unknown to the public! The Advertiser ia in a dilemma, and it cannot escape by quib Ides. Its candidate cannot carry " tvo facts," and Mr. Jtebb ia not inclined to. That the Advertiser may be able to inform its reader where the lAieofacogof the Reserve stand, and how they feel affected in regard to the black-laws, wc quote tho following from series of resolutions adopted without a dissenting voice at a Locofovu meeting held at Riventu, Portage County, on the 1st d.iy of September, lrJ4."i. They stoak for themselves : Ilrsolrtd, That in order the more effectually to car ry out and put in practical operation our principles Uon tins great and important subject, we plulge our-srlres and the Dknoiiutic r-Aiirv nf tke coun'ij, to make uar of all means eanttitntianalh in our power to accomplish the ieedy abolition of slavery in the United Stales and their territories, and p'cially to tjl'irt far REPEAL OF ALL LAWS NOW EXISTING IN OHIO IMPOSING ANY DISTINCTIONS WHATEVER RET WEEN THE COLORED AND TDK FREE WHITE POPULATION OF TDK STATU. Ilesalred, That, regarding the atrict observance of these principles in the light of our imperative duty, we again pltdge aursrlres to support no man far Riprt-irnialire to the Male legislature, trho will not attain hit Jfrrm and unalterable drterm'uatian to use erery honara-hit effort in the discharge, of hit official duties to bring about their speedy and triumphant turtttt. More Anti-Turilf Doctrines Irom an Organ of the Liberty I'rtrty! The following ia from the Cincinnali Herald nf Tuesday. It occurs in the course of an exulting strain over the prospects of McKay' Bill, of final passage in the Senate : " In fact the principal bond of union now, between the South and West, ia their identity of policy on the subject of the Tart If. The interests of llie planter of the South and the agriculturist of the West in this relation are to a great client identical. Both demand low duties, both require ample foreign markets, both Will bo benefitted by the prevalence of tin' free trade policy. It ia the bigoted adherence nf the Last to the protective policy, which throws the West into the arms of the slaveholders, and thus pcrelu.tle an alliance debasing lo the Democratic parly and ruinous to the beat interests of the country. ' It is just such atrocious expressions as the almve, from the Liberty organ of Cincinnati, that most elTec-lively contribute to render permanent the allianre be I ween the South and West; or. at least, to give the Mouth a permanent supremacy. The Herald, most atrangrly and unphilosophicatly, seems to imagine that an identity of interest will not bring about a unity o purpose and action. Just such denunciations of the East as that above, may bo found in every Southern and Western Lncofocn sheet. The Herald would perpetuate the antagoniatirnl action between the L ist and West, although fully sensible of the fnctlhat the Last stands almost as one man against SUvery and policy calculated to, perpetuate the power of the South. The anti-slavery sentiment pervades every party orgauiiation, jrckthe Herald would teach the West that she has no greater enemy than the Kast, and that her true policy ia that which will destroy the Kast. Shame', shame! upon audi counsels. The Herald knowa, just as well as it knows anything, that tho true course, if it would strike a blow at slavery, would be to lend it aid to bind the Kast and West together. Together they could wield a resistless away in the House and dictate measures, as of right they should, to the whole country. If its efforts were successful, instead of emancipating tho West from the influence of the South, they would quenrh the last glim inering ray of light that uow cheers the heart of the philanthropist and patriot. It is a libel on the West to any that there ia an iden tity of aim between it and the South on the Tariff. Tho Wcatcrn people do not believe it. The Herald dot a not believe it. It doea violence to the better judgments of nine out of ten of ila own readers by pro mutgating attch a sentiment. The western people never have been unfriendly to the protective system. Tho Legislature of Ohio, not many years since, passed unanimously a series of resolutions in favor of protection, recognising it as tho true policy nf the country both for farmer and manufacturer. Go among the opposition and obtain an honest expression of sentiment on the Tariff question, and vast majority will be found the fast friends of the protective principle. The planter of tho south, at present, depends largely on the foreign market for the sale of his Cotton. That R Would, however, in the course nf time, under a genial system, be found more to his interest lo sustain the homo demand, we cannot doubt. England ia doing her best to dispense with the use of his cotton, while lh homo-manufacturer would every year give him a largely increased demand, and give him a mar ket at his own door. What reason in the world is there, sustained by a single principle of sound political economy, why we should send our cotton all the way to England to have it manufactured and then brought back and sold to us, with the expense of freight each way added to its cost ? If this expense can be avoid ed and the profits of manufacturing can be transferred to our own people, who will say that such a course ii not the beBt? Much of the cotton it may be said, is manufactured and sold by England to her colonial possessions and to tho rest of the world. Granted. Hut, why should wo not manufacture our own cotton for these markets ourselves? Why wilt the Herald persist in an attempt to deceive the people of tho West into the belief that they., will obtain an abundant foreign market, by the destruction of our own Tariff and the Corn Law Repeal of England. Is not the fnct that the Corn Bill has been adopted, and that without knowing that McKay' Bill had passed either branch of our Congress, evidence that Great Britain has nut been prompted by any regard for this country or for principle, to change her policy? Now, if thu foreign market is of so much moment, docs not the Herald see that we have it already ? Why urge the overthrow of our own Tariff under such circumstances? Great Britain will take all of our produce that she wants any how, and we may have the benefit of protection without interfering with the prospect in that quarter. Why, wo repeat, does tho Herald hold up free trade as a boon to the west? Can it bo possible that the editor of that paper is blind to the absolute necessity and great advantages of extending manufactures in Iho West? Does he not know that Ihe great West his all the elements of a vast manufacturing power within her reach? And, dors ho not know that by fostering our own manufactures, we shall soon dot tho west with them and establish a market at our own doors? Is this not evidently tho true policy? No, says the Herald. Give the South her foreign market; let her depend on England for a market and for her supplies, as she wishes. And lei the north take, what she can get. Let her free labor look out for itself. .Make her dependent on England and tho South for every thing, while Ihey are dependent on her for noth ing. Away with such abominable doctrines. In tho name of that Liberty to which tho Herald professes to be so devotedly attached, wc beseech it to cease its attempt lo propagate such doctrines among thu free men, the anti-slavery men of Ohio. Public Sentiment anil the Tin Law The "Tax Killer" in bud odor! The tido of reaction in regard lo the Tax Law still rolls onward with increasing impetuosity. A greater change of public sentiment in reference to an important measure, has never taken place in the same time in this State, than that witnessed in rcgird to the Tax Law. Wo did not attempt to conceal the fact a few mouths since, that our opponents had derived new hope from the impression they had made against this law. When it was ndoptcd, we expected il would have to undergo the same ordeal experienced by the partial re for in ot HIJ-'j, But wu felt an abiding conviction that public 'sentiment would in due time bo set right by fuctt. Those facia came in a perfect tlmd, scattering to the four winds the sophistry, tho subterfuge and misrepresentations of the Locofuco press. Following them closely, wo witnessed the ex peeled re-aclioti. Complaint and objection in the country, we are assured by farmers, have ceased, and given place in hundreds of instances tn the warmest praise, and unfeigned satisfaction. Tho thousand-limes refuted tales of the 11 tax-killers," fall powerless upon lli9 public ear. Whigs every where, bold and zealously vindicate tho law, and pledged to it their arnest support, though it was not adopted as one- ot the issues of the campaign at first. This promptness and zeal in its defence, this willingness and eagerness to discuss, with the backwardness and hesitancy of our opponents, cannot bo misunderstood. They de. lore in language that every man understands, that the law is a good, a popular one ; a law for the people, h signed to promote the interests of the masses, and protect the honor of the State ! He who aeea not these evidences of re-action, ia blind indeed. But, that all do see it, and that our opponents understand it, ia rendered palpable enough by the altered tone of their presses, by their efforts to concent every fact cal culated to illustrate tho w ue fi cent operations of the law, and by tho prolonged silence and inactivity nf David Tod. The spirit of our private correspondence his been to us a most satisfactory indication of tint result for which we confidenily looked and labored, from the time the taw was placed on the statute bank. Our friend in the various auctions of the State all inform ua that tho cloud liu disappeared, that lightens broken in upon them, and has utterly withered the budding expectations of their opponents, We have quoted frequently from these letters. The following is a brief extract from a letter received from a distinguished, intelligent and reliable friend of Fayette County. Extract from a letter dated W tmTn, Fwf.ttk Co., O., July ?t. " By Iho bv, do you ktmw what has become of that "Tax Kh.i kh" and all the little tnx killers? We saw several copies of the first number, but the silbse ineiit mi m hen am mm tit, so l.ir as I can learn ; ami what is enually strange, the whirlwind of nonosition to and abuse of the tax biw, winch threatened de. strurtion not only to the makers of the law, but to the law its-II, has passed away and ceased Irom our midst. and the voices of the brawlers and panic-makers, ant as though tne augei o death had passed thmuirh our land and taken them all to himself.

We are as yet unable to present, nur readers with a complete statement of the new assessment of personal proHTty, owing to tho manner in which the returns were made to the Auditor of State. We shall endeavor to furnish a few aggregates and farts of general in tereat. One important fie I, however, has beendevel-oH-d tint should Ixi proelaimed lo the extremities of (he Slate, a a triumphant vindication of the new Tax Law against the assault of itacnemica. It is this : The orjrjt, Vntlhj Mulct, Ihgt nd Shcrp, xi.U Jtt-l.rili:H, trill this yrar stand onthr tat duplicate at nboat Ai:i,nim,unu, bring EIGHT MILLIONS OF DOL LABS S KSS (Uh thr iionst: and t at n.x ALONh were hsttd at last ytur I ! ! ! When does this fnet place those who have denounc I'd the lax law as designed tn oppress the ftirmrr? Icl them hide abashed, twfore Ihe power of truth, and no ln rer attempt lo confront those whom Uiey have so wickedly dedeived. It ts known that horses, catile, hogs, sheep, and mules, go on the duplicate at half their value, bringing them down mi a level with money at interest, merchants' capital, An. This is what has caused the heavy reduction of the farmer's property on the duplicate, even a tier bringing on his sheep and hogs. The tax on pianos, watches, merchants' capital and money at interest, Ac, nuke up this deficiency and add lo tho duplicate about six millions of dollar over and above the amount thus deducted. But this increase ia too sinill to mako up the deh:ienry in the revenue on the old levy. An additional nidi, therefore ha been addrd. But how does that leave the rase. Why, even after adding tho additional mill, THE FAHM-ER'S TAXES WILL BE REDUCED ! This is a fixed fact, tangible, substantial, that shows to every man what kind of people the tux law was designed to affect! .i hi, Harstt and Cat tin were last year on the grand list at Jtlll?,l!H),!!M. This year they will stand on the list, after adding hogs, sheep, and mules, at about ijtlllD,V.t4l,0lM; "'n at reduction of mare than $7,IMn,fHM The tax upon the first named sum al Hi mills on the dollar, was 1,7l.Vi,V K-t.

Surh a slate of affiirs has not existed for alwut Ave year. It will be a cause of congratulation tn every patriotic and honest cituen of Ohm. The fact is now satisfactorily stated, let il be rememliered, that the revenue of the State can be increased sufficiently, under the new law, to maintain its credit, pay it interest fund promptly and prevent tho increase of ita permanent I Whig Nominations iu Jefferson County! debt, not only without adding to the tax of the farmery lUt At'TKK MAKING A REDUCTION IN THEIR FAVon! Our neighbor of the Press baa rendered himself ri diculous by his allusions of yesterday to the subject. We advise him to look before he leaps the next tune. There is not a single error in tho statements and cal culations ho has taken from Iho Journal of the 9th of June, save that corrected immediately afterwards an error that every child could see was purely accidental. Let the L'ress and its co-workers compare their predic tions, assumptions and declarations with the facts as Ihey now actually exist, and confess that they have gnoruntty or wilfully attempted to deceive the people,! From WiwhniKton The TurilT, Ac. Our dates from Washington uro up to Saturday evo- nmg. 1 he vote on the Tariff was not taken on Saturday. Mr. Johnson, of Maryland, occupied tho afternoon in an earnest and eloquent appeal in behalf of Ihe country against pirly and against McKay's Bill. When ho closed Mr. Nii.es, of Connecticut, took the floor and the Senate adjourned. Petitions are pouring into the Senate from tho la borers and operatives of Pennsylvania and Now Eng. land, thick and fast. On Saturday, Mr. Cameron, one if the Locofuco Senators from Pennsylvania, present ed memorials from Sunburyffrom laborers in tho coal mines, from working men and others, all remonstrating against the repeal of the Tariff of 184'2. He said, as reported by correspondent of Baltimore American ; I present memorials also, said Mr. C. from Demo cratic citizens of Northumberland old Democratic Northumberland which save an immense majority for Mr. Polk; from Berks county old Democratic Berks ; from Northampton with her largo majority for Ihe Democratic ticket. Pennsylvania asks only to bo let alone. Some thin if had been said hero of a panic. There was a panic, and it was no Whig panic now. It was a Ueuricratic panc, and was Hpreudm far and wide. (Laughter up.m tho Whig side of the Cham, her.)" Mr. Webster remarked that when in Pennsylvania, in IH 14, he had seen several democratic banners bear ing on their folds' Polk, Dallas and the Tariff of 1H Ii !" Ho asked Mr. C.uneroii if it was not so. Mr. Cameron a tid ho had attended ono hundred Democratic m-etings, nine of them 1 ."( miles from his home, and at all of those meetings he saw one or more banners with the inscription of 11 Polk, Dallas and the Tariff of JSI'J. And m ire, I will odd said Mr. C, and Ihat ia, that without the tariff of iHIU.the two former could not have been elected. Tho Treasury Note Bill, authorizing tho emianon of government paper to the amount of $1),0IH),IM0, passed iho Setiato on Saturday, without amendment, having previously passed the House. While it was under discussion Mr. Nile said it ought to be $15,- 1)011,000. lie had no confidence in tho estimates of the Secretary of the Treasury. Ho thought the financial affair of the G ivernment were " in a sad and pi rable condition!" An honest confession. Mr. Allen did not like the form of th:- bill. He wai in favor of " borrowing money ai individual borrowed it, not in the disguised farm of a Giivkhxmr.it B ink and a PAeKK monky ! Another ctmfession. Mr. Calhoun in alluding to the bill, said that we were in a war which, f continued, would be very expensive. Another con fession. He was in favor of a tax on tea and coffee at this crisis. A bdl for the relief of the heirs of R ibert Fulton, appropriating $7u',0O0, passed the House. One of tho Kidnappers of IMiinncy Arrested, Jacob A rim Inge, the companion and assistant of Forbes, in the abduction of Jerry Phinney, was hroiiL'ht lo this city this morning, by Constable Brown, Mr. Cherry of this city and Mr. , of Franklinlon. They found him list night at tho residence of Mr. Fleming, of Prairie township, iu this county. Ho is at this writing, in the custody of the Sheriff, but a strong effort is being made to have him bailed, by those whose sympathies for the individual induce them, wo fear, to overlook the magnitude of his crime. We have been informed that Ann it age was on his way to this city, to give himself up to the civil authorities, when he was arrested, and that his friends or connec tions had avowed the fact a week or two since. The supposition is, if this representation ia correct, that he i refer red running the risk of conviction and impri sonment to having a price set upon his head and a constant apprehension of arrest. It is also stated thai his friends, with whom ho atopjted, refused to admit Messrs. Brown A- Co , until they gave on assurance tint they would not claim the reward, alleging that Out they were coming to the city with him in the morning. These representations may have been made incorrectly ; wo give them as they were received. Re the state nf the case as it may, wo rejoieo that ono who was engaged in a deed of darkness utterly revolting to every feeling of humanity, is now within reach nf the law. We hivo no desire lo prejudice the case, as it will finally bu derided by a jury; and forbear, therefore, lo say more at tins limn. Wo would that Forbes was secured and in a fuir way to receive his deserts. Since the above was wrilten wn have been informed tint bail his been given by Armitage, in the sum of f 7.V), for his appearance al Court ; and Ito is, therefore, at large. Thoso who hivo bailed him agreed to do so before his return, as they state, and that was the condition of his return. la h is felt himielf a branded man and determined to know the worst rather than ro- nnin in suspense. The trial of Henderson and tho others orresU d and imprisoned immediately after the abduction, has been t for a special session of the Court of Common Pleas, ti cjinin-ucrt on 'he rtih day of September. We anp-piso Armitage will be tried at tho same lime. He tates, wu learn, that Phinney is still at Frankfort. Some doubt h is been entertained on this point, and rumors of his removal to the South have been in circulation for some time. Kxprnam of Congrrsa Retrenchment Insisted! Oh Thursday last, when the bill providing for the pay of members of Congress was up, Mr. McKay made the following admissions: "The expenses of Congress for mileage and per diem, were 7 17,."i.Vi for the session of Congress. Of this, some $i;t0,,V:) were for the mileage of members, and for the mileage of Senators. The ex penses n Congress were $1.1,-1 H each week, for mileage and per diem." This is a neat litiln su n to expend for the payment of nien wh i have been in session nearly eight months. without adopting a single measure calculated to ad. vatic the great interests of the country, unless in volving it in a war, and an attempt to break down free labor can bo considered as promotive of these cuds. Mr. Slewart, of Pa., thought while an attempt was being made to cut down the wages of mechanics and laborers, it would not be amiss to propose a very lit lie reform for tho home service. He proposed : "That after any session of Congress shall have continued six months, tho piy of tho members shill be reduced to six dollars; after seven months, to four dollars; and after right months, to two dollars per day." That was very undemocratic in Mr. Stewart, and we do not wond'T that ho was promptly ruled out of or der. If he wis in this Stale, ho would sec how unlike Locotucoism in power, ia Locnfocoism out of pow er! It is astonishing how economical tho Lncofoeo cadera nf Ohio are at this time. They roll up their eyes with h dy horror at su expenditure ot a lew nun-dreds of dollars for necessary purposes, now, ullhough they expended millions when in power, without saying Ui the people " by your leave. ' Mr. Ilebb nt Mnnduaky. In the very midst of harvest Mr. Bebb visited Sandusky County, yet the Telegraph stated that the Court House was tilled by those who had left all lo hear htm. Tho meeting was opened wilh prayer by Rev. Mr. Skinner, after which Mr. Bebb spoke for two hours. His address was exceedingly effective. While it vindicated Whig sentiment it disarmed oppoaition by its conciliatory tin racier, Us entire ireeiiom from amiso. He dwelt warmly on the Currency and Tax questions. A large number of ladies honored him by their pre aence, as they have done at almost every point. Everywhere ho succeeds in exciting the strongest determination to keep the State out of tho hands nf the Destructives and convinces many even nf hi opponents that a greater calamity oould not befall it than the restoration tn power of men who so lately swamped ita credit and prosterity. Finn at Ci.Kvr.i.ANii. A destructive Uro necured at Cleveland on Tuesday evening last, in tho ware house occupied by A. Loo mis as a wholesale grocery establishment. The wan' house of A. Merwin was also consumed, together with a heavy stock of stoves belonging to Woolson, Klemm &, Co. Tho loss is about $l.'i,00. Insurance on a part only. A Whig nominating Convention was held at Bloom- field, Jofferson County, on the Mthinst. Its proceedings were conducted in a spirit worthy of the reliable and untiring Whigs of that county. Nothing occurred to mar its harmony Isaac Shane presided, assist ed by T. F. McGiiew as Secretary. A Central Com mittee was apoirited at the head of which stands Joseph Beutty, of Steubenville. The following tick et was placed in nomination. For Representative, Finlkv B. McGrkw ; Auditor, Charles A. Kirby ; Commissioner, Joseph Shane ; Recorder, George Beatty ; Poor House Director, Robt. McCoy. Tho Herald, of Steubenville, speaKB of tho ticket as unexceptionable in all respects, one of the strongest ever nominated in the county and one that will be elected without any exception or reservation. Mr. McGrew is a man very highly esteemed throughout tho country. The resolutions adopted arc just to tho point. We give a part of them, inquiring only, as we pass along, whether our opponents can discover in them, any attempt to ovade the issues of tho cumpaign : Whereas, the Hamilton County Loco Convention of HI-, and the Loco tith of January Convention, of lHlii, both take exceptions to banks because thpy are calculated to uphold the price of labor and produce, and have therefore as a party, distinctly avowed their determination to oppose ail banking : and for this purpose, have put in nomination Ton, who stands pledged, if elected, to use his inllueiicu to the putting down of tho banks, therefore, Hrsolvril, l hat the issue being distinctly made of Bank or no Bank, wc stand ready to tastain the price of labor, and the price, of produce, by opposing Pot-metal Davy, and his hard money theory. Hesalerd, That wn view tho attempt of the Locofo- co leaders lo reduce the price of labor, and the price of produce, to the Tappan-hard-money standard, of eleven-penuy-tiit-a-uay, and Iu or cents per bushel for wheat, as a wanton attempt to oppress the laborer, and the agriculturalist : that Ihereby, the capitalist and salaried office-holder, may profit by their distress : anil that this low wages theory, is another link in tho cha'-n of aristocracy, intended to make tho rich richer, ami the poor poorer. Hesotrrd, i hat past experience has proven that in putting down the Ohio Banks, specie thereby, has not been increased, hut that the vacuum has been supplied by the ititroduction of foreign notes, over which our laws had no control, and which were of doubtful character, and not convertible into specie. Itrtolrrd, That the lute exhibit of the Auditor of Stale of the amount of Tax paid into the Stale treasury, by the Banks, clearly shows Iho wisdom ul the legislature, in fixing the tax ot six per cent, upon tho profits of the banks, instead of tho ordinary tax upon the capital, as being the means of raising more reve nue to tne niate. Hrsalred, That the new lax law commends itself to the favorable notice of the tax paver, in that, it carries out the true democratic doctrine, of taxing every man according to what he is worth ; and that in its operation it has been the means of having listed on the du plicate, a large amount ot moneys and credits that ha heretofore escaped taxation! Hrsnimi, l hat past experience has shown to the people, that the putting down the old banks has had the tendency nf advancing the rate nf interest to individual capitalists, from (i to H, 1(1, J0, nnd even .' per cent.; and tint, as tho rate ol interest advanced, real estate fell in value. Hrfolrrd, That as Whigs, we will sustain the new tax law up t- its trie democratic principle of taxing every man (for the support of government) according to whit he is worth; and should experience call for any amendments in the details, we hold that tho measure is safer in Ihe hands of its friends than its ene mies. Hesidrrd, That the uniformity of value of the pn- per circulating medium of Ohio throughout the State, is a triumphant vindication of tho framers of the general banking taw; and that the avidity with which locof'oiua grasp this paper, shows that their objections are chimerical. Hrmdrrd, That wc highly approve Ihe course of our Senator and Representative in the Legislature especially in maintaining the Democratic principle of taxing every man according to what he is worth. Htsol ml, 1 hat wc will contend torcivil liberty upon the broad basis of our charter of rights, " that all men are created equal," and that we will never cease our efforts by moral suasion, until every form of tyranny over the mind or person of man shall cease, and Africa's sable sous be bid go free. (TT Wo find the following in the Newark IGazctto nf Wednesday last. It displays the right spirit, and shows the justice of our remarks of Saturday in reference to the course of that paper. Tho Whigs of r ranklin expect to see those of Licking enter the dis trict convention in the right spirit, ready to make any nnd every sacrifice for thff sake of the cause, not for men. The question with Franklin and DoUwaro will be, if we uuderjland their position, which of tho gentlemen named for C ingress will add most to tho strength of the Whig ticket, and most effectively in bringing out the Whig vote. Thai question answered, whether the nomination is bestowed on Mr. Duncan, Mr. Sr NBr.iir, or any other good Whig, they will throw their whole weight in the field to secure success : Tur. Dklruatr Convention at Johnstown. It will bo seen by the notico of the Central Committee that a Whig nominating Convention for this Congressional District, has been called for the 31st inst. No names have been yet announced for nomination except those of Daniel Duncan and James R. ti tannery, E.nq., both of this county. Either of whom are qualified ably to represent the central district uf Ohio. Wc have only one hope to express as regards this convention a hope that the Whigs will turn out strongly to their township meetings, so that a full, fair and honorably obtained expression of populur opinion may govern its proceedings. That thu latter result will lake place, in all events, we do not doubt. And, though opposed to conventions, we are ready to stisUin and support with every energy, "fAe nominee" for this district, whether one of the gentlemen named, or any other, a representative of thoso cardinal principles which bind together the Wings as a party; well assured that the twentieth choice would yet bo as su Minor to the representative of Locofocoism, a light is to darkness. If there are to bo other candidales brfore th eon srm ion, let their name come btftrt the people prior to the convention. Corn Hill Passed Its effect" on our Mnrkets Thu great Reform Rilljof Sir Robert Peel having become a law in England, the farmers of this country undoubtedly feel some solicitude to know its effect on the grain market in the East.

The Whigs of Sandusky county placed in nomination a full ticket on tho Hth inst., and prepared for a vigorous prosecution nf the campaign i For Representative, JAM KS MOORE; Treasurer, R.

The hard-money issue is one that the people of Sandusky will not support, and if they are not deterred from voting their sentiments, we shall have a Whig Representative from Sandusky.

Unenviable Notoriety Tho courso of Mr. Briukerhoff and his party colleagues from this State, on the Texas and Tariff ques tions, has given them an unenviable notoriety. They have brought lasting dishonor on Ohio. They are considered the very head and front of craven dough face is in. Others were equally recreant and regard le si of duty. But, to Mr Brinkerhoff and his colleague alone, belongs the honor of making boast of firmnesB that they did not possess, of independence to which they were strangers. They were not content to let their acta speak for themselves, but must needs herald to the world tho annunciation that Ihey knew their power and were determined to exercise it, to the overthrow of tho South in one of her darling projects, They had borne wilh much, but the time had come when the country was to be made to feel thu might that sleeps in a freeman's arm and to understand that the cheated and deserted 54 Id's had spirit enough to resent repeated insults and continued neglect. Brave words; but how impotent the conclusion and how unenviable the position of Ohio's doughfaces. Let them hang their diminished heads as they see their names bandied about as by-words, synonymous with all that is pitiable and contemptible. Mortifying indeed, must be the reflections of those they have misrepresented and humbled. The following allusion to the matter is from the Boston Courier. It occurs in an articlo in reference to the potent sway of tho Executive, and is in the spirit that has characterised hundreds of allusions wo have seen mudo to the course of Mr. Brinkerhoff by tho press : The matter of Presidential appointments to offices of honor and profit, was the next subject which exer cised the feelings of the doughty Democracy of the west. A re i ec ted candidate for office made the won derful discovery that nearly all the offices of note in Ihe gift of the President, had been bestowed upon his parlizmiB at Iho south. This brilliant discovery was gravely announced to Congress, as though it were a secret to that illustrious, sagacious and patriotic body, and as if the whole matter had not been previously arranged at the famous Baltimore Convention, where the south held the northern Democratic noBe to the grindstone, and dictated to the northern deb-gates a southern President, with southern measure and southern control in all matters of legislation and appoint ment. 1 he member who had relieved himself of this extraordinary confession, then most audaciously unti tled the southern members that he and Ins compatriots had drawn their car ot triumph far enough, without receiving any thing for the labor, and they should now turn baeli to seo if there was not some northern in terests which should be looked to. A cry of derision was the only reply from the southern side of tho House The dung-hill fowl from Ohio who had dar ed to crow within Bight and sound of the southern game-cock, was most appropriately scourged to his duty. The demonstration of the Ohio members upon the tariff, was a sort of Mexican prouonciamcnto. It was tun ol ttireats, nt uoinnast, ot high sounding words, hut was followed by the most rank and abject cowardice. hrom the Cleveland Herald. Personal Property nnd Tnxes iu Ctiynliogu, IN 13 and INK), The following facts we give to tho tax payers of the county. I he truth is, the new revenue law is a good, an excellent one, and commends itself to all classes of our people. If this law had been passed at a time when party excitement and party bitterness were unknown, all men, who pay by taxes a portion of the burdens of the State, would have pronounced it jimt and equal. And as it is, if the Banks had consented to come within its provisions, the lemocraev who now deal out such anathemas against it, would have been silent, for they would not have had a single peg to iiaug an omecuon on. Jiut tne banks were created the amount they should pay tho State in taxes was specified, and whether onerous or not, they preferred, or a few of them at least, to bide thu bargain, rather tiian submit to any change in the condition of their charters. For ourse'J, we know of no good and valid reason why bank stock should not go on the tax list, and be assessed as any other kind of proierly. And wc trust, that when tlx Legislature again meets, the several banks in this Slate will consent that their stock shall be taxed as personal property is now taxed throughout the Slate. But, be this as it may, the only reason why the Democratic press ol Ohio rails, as it does, against the tax law, is for political effect, lor parly purposes, for party ascendency. Go to any one oft hat party, and ask him, not as a Democratic partixan, but as a man, what he thinks ot the Whig tax law, and he will tell you, it is a good one and just such a law as was needed. We have heard leading, prominent men of that party speak in high terms f approval of that law. And why is it, that men, who are in all other respects good and honest citizens, and mean to be honorable, for mere party purposes, denounce publicly what they heartily approve privately. There is no honesty and inteirritv in such a course as this. Whv will thev not lie honest and independent, and give their support to such measurea as lend to benefit the elate, and pro mote the lie si interest ot all tho people.

The object of the Tariff bill was to raise 000,000 for the service of the year by duties on imports.It i proposed to raise this amount by ad valorem duties entirely. These dutiea are arruuged by the bill into clauses, being charged respectively 11)0,40, 30, 20, 15, 10 and 5 per cent. 1 he average ol ttiese, according lo the Committee f Finance, ia per cent. The micstion, therefore. is what we may justly exjiect with an importation this year, as nt tliul average Iho year will yield a revenue oi a-4r,iiuo,ijii. io juuge oi ims, we must, in Iho first place, be brought to the amount of last yoir's importations.By the Treasury statement it appears thai the value of merchandise imported from July I, 144, to June milli, 1H45, was $1 17,'i4,"(4. This ia a larger impor tation iiian the averuue ol the last live years. Rut this amount includes all the free articles, the-value of which ia .,H7-lll. It is said the free list will be diminished by transferring several articles to the dutiuhle lists. But the main articles still remain free under this bill. Tea and coffee and specie are not taxed, and the value of these imports last year was $l.',OI4,f4!t. Deduct this from the aggregate of importations and Ihe balance remaining is $lol,:i:i!i,01o. There arc many other articles left free, but tea and coffee und specie are the principal. Now tho sum of ftol,:i;i!'l'i, on an a vera ire dufv of per cent, will produce jft'j:i,HI4,'-77 ; bul thin is the gross product, r rom tins is to be deducted in thu first place, for cost of collection, two millions. In the next place we are to deduct drawbacks at the same amount of In si year, jSd7P,40'.l. After this deduction there remains only jftl!l,i:Ui,i:VJ as the nctt revenue from importations. If wo called this $1,000,000, then it would full short eight million of Ihe sum necessary for the use of Government. lo produce lh-se eight millions at the same ratr of duties, there wi!l be required an increased importation of forty millions, making an aggregate importation of free and dutiable articles uf $l."7,' I,.ili4. now is there any just ground of expectation that such an incn-ased importation will take place? Or, if it were possible that such an increase should accrue, enn thu goods he paid for withoutdraiuiiigthe country of specie, and efleetually deranging the currency ?

Budding Fruit Trees, &c To lie successful in budding Fruit Trees, the operator should bo provided with a proper budding knife, which can bo obtained at tho different Seed Stores. The stock or tree lo be worked should be in a good condition, which is when the rind or bark parts freely from the wood, with Ihe knife, and is free of sap. Tho buds should be selected from free-growing wood of lite current year, and be full and plump; and, like the stock, part freely from the wood for if either the rind of the bud or tree is mutilated by the operation, the success will be doubtful; if the rind of the bud is too young and tender, il is liable to shrivlc and will never unite to the alburnum of the stock ; and hence many buds are annually lost by the rind of the bud springing from the stock instead of uniting lo tt. Tho time of budding fruit trees is from the beginning of July to September. The Plumb and Pear will be in order first ; the Cherry and the Apple follow ; and lastly, the Peach and Nectarine Many persons adopt the rule of budding the Pear and Cherry early, in order, in case of a failure, to have a second chance ; and it is generally a good method, although in some cases early budding of those trees cause Ihe hud to start into growth, instead of laying dormant, which is an objection, as they make feeble wood and are sometimes winter killed, (neither case, moist, dry weather ia prefarable for tho operation, and the morning or evening to thai of the middle of the day particularly in hot, dry trrathrr, for Hie sap of the bud often dries up during the nictation, which is detrimental. Budding should al ways be done in a neat exiicditious manner, to succeed well. Practice if lludding. When the shoots for the bud are taken from tho tree, the leaves are to be taken off, leaving a part nf the foot-stalk of the leaf with the bud this is essentially necessary because tho leaves, if left on the shoot atcr ticing eul from the tree, would exhaust the bud and cause it to shrivel. The scions should be kept moist by wrapping around them wet paK'r, old malting, grass or any other sub stance until ihey are inserted. There are various methods of inserting buds; but I shall confine myself to the most general and I believe most successful method; which is to choose a clear place in the tree, and make an incision in the form of the letter T, by first cutting through the nnd in the top, in a Iran verse direction ; the lower incision is made by drawing the point af the knife either upward or downwards from the upper incision alien t an inch this is a nice point in budding trees, as the edge ol the knife ought to go just through the rind and no further, for if the alburnum is cut through into the wood, which will be the case if cut too deep, the operation will bo uncertain ; because the very part that is the most deli cate and which is to unite tn the inner rind of Ihe bud being mutihtaled will not be united to the bud properly, and will most likely prove a failure. This being done, apply the thin end of the hart of the knife to the top of the incision in order to part the rind front Ihe wood, which is done by gently lifting Ihe top of the rind from the wood and running the end of the hart downwards on each side to the end of Ihe incision, being careful not to mutilate the alburnum of the stock in the operation, but leave it in a clean, neat manner. The incision being made fur Iho reception of Ihe bud, the next tiling tn be done ia to prepare the bud, by placing the scion iu the left hand, between the thumb and forefinger. The knife is then to be placed a In If an inch below the bad, witlt the heel of Ihe blnde, which is carefully drawn upwards a half an inch a novo the bud, cutting it out with about half the wood and bark. Thia being done, the part la placed between the thumb and forefinger of the h it bund, and Ihe nnd gently pressed back wilh tho edge of the knife, when the wood is to be pinched between the thumb and knife, and divided from the rind with the bud, which is lo bo inserted neatly in the incision, by pressing il gently down between the bark and wood of the stock, cutting off the top sbovo Iho transverse cut, so that (he bud fits in a compact manner. Then apply boss, malting or other soli string, and bind it neatly, by beginning below the ligature, and bringing il to Iho top, leaving the eye unbound, but bo careful Ihat every other part is securely bound, so as to exclude the sun and air from drying up the bud before it is well united. E. SAYERS. Ceremonies at Home on tho Death of the Pope The following are the principal ceremonies observed al Rome on the death of the sovereign Pontiff: 1 As soon as the reigning Pope had ceased to live, tho Pope's great Chamlw-rlain, accompanied by Iho Clerks of the Aostolical Chamtit-r is conducted to the bedroom of the deceased Pontiff, w here he verifies Ins mortal remains; and receive from the hands of Iho Master of the Chamber, the fisherman's ring.' This ring, and Die Beat of Ihe bulla, called thu 'leaden seal,' are broken by the chief masters of the ceremonies in presence of all the Cardinals. The Pope's (treat Chamberlain then holds a congregation wilh the same Clerks, and in this re union ho appoints all the officers of the Chamber. Twenty-four ho irs after the Pope's death, his body is embalmed. In the evening nl the third day, it is transported to the church of St. Peter's with the same minp that surrounded the Sovereign Pont iff on solemn occasions; there is also a detachment of artillery which forma a pari of Ihe cartrge. The body, thuseni-baliued, remains exposed in the Chapel of the Holy Sacrament during thrco days, the head turned towards tho altar, and the feet touching the raiting which encloses the chapel. The people pay their last homago of respect to tho mortal remains of the Pope by kissing his feet through the bars. 'A large rich catafalque is raised during this period in the middle of the principal nave of the bascilica. The portrait of the deceased Pope, and the most memorable event of his reign, are painted in gay colors, and ornament the different sides of tho mausoleum. Tho funeral commences iu the evening of the third day of tho ceremony of interment, which takes place in the presence of the Great Chamberlain, the Cardinals apHiinted by the deceased, and the clerks of tho chamber. Tho body, enclosed in a tripple coffin, i aflerwards placed near the chapel of tho choir until the time of sepulture. "The funeral ceremonies last during nine days. The cardinals, prelates, magistrates of Rome, officers of the pontifical household all thoso, in fact, who usually assist in the Papal chapels, are present at these ceremonies Tho Sacred College assemble before tho funeral mass, in the sacristy of St. Peter's and there uppoints the different public officers for the irnv- ermneiit of Rome, the Council of Slate, and ihoConclave.' 'Tho Church of Rome," say Galignani'i Messen ger, "is now rendering to tho deceased I opo its lust offices, which are called the A'otcn Diali, because they last nine days. The cardinals, formally assembled. exercise the sovereign authority, and are making pre-parations for the great act of the election, of a successor to the late pontiff, who must be one of their body. Tho diplomatisls are admitted to short audience. hacli minister, after the usual compliments, venture to give hi private recommendation, but always in general terms waiting till his letters of credence are to be announced and which must be addressed to the Sacred College, which receives them at the grated wicket of the Conclave.

All thia wilt pass on the llth inst. between 7 and 10 o'clock. The Conclave is guarded by a prince, called tho Marshal of the Conclave, posted at the outer gates. The first steps in the election will bo taken on tho ltli. All business is suspended durum the sittinir of tho Conclave, even the tribunals suspend proceedings, and the only authorities that retain their functions are the Camcrliinjui, the Grand Penitentiary, and the Vicar of Rome. No order can be issued from any other au thority without being specially confirmed by the as sembled cardinals, winch confirmation is transmitted immediately to the Governor of Rome and theTreasurer-General. According to tho custom which has always been observed, tho arrival of the Cardinal Legates and the foreign Cardinal will be waited for be- lore the election is seriously entered upon. The first may arrive at Rome, in time lor the second or third day of the A wren iHali, and the others by ttie twentieth day after Ihe death of the Pope, consequently there can be no election before the 2oth inst., unless some unforeseen event shall occur. To constitute a valid election, the candidate must obtain at least two thirds of the voles minus Ins own. If 45 Csrdiuals are assembled, he must have 'M) votes, and if there be 4ti the majority must be !)l. If the Conclave be composed of fi7 members, the election will bo completely canonical, if one of the candidate has 3d votes, without reckoning his own." Ilorticultnrul Society.

What is there a man cannot waste? and that, too, without a single instance of lavish profligacy; but solely by those minute, scarcely perceptible squanderings w hich, like the constant dropping of water upon the roc k7 wear away that which seems most likely to endure. He may waste his health by little indulgen-cies of pernicious habit by constant irregularities, slight in themselves, and their effects in single instances scarcely perceptible, but which, as violations of the laws of his lieing, will work gradual, bnt certain inroads upon the strongest constitution, until tho energies decay, the fountains of life are dried up, and pre-mature old age siuka like a crown of thorns upon Uie head of early manhood. He may waste fortune in petty squander inns lime and talents on tritles or in listlesuess and idleness. How many a giant mind hoi been fluttered away in pursuit of the belitlbnir object of low ambition ! How often do we see powers per isiimg mr ica oi liiougni anriveiing into insignificance for want of intelligence to feed upon, which use might have poluhed to the highest brilliancy, and exercise would have made equal to achieving ihe noblest purposes! How many scatter, in idleness or in-ditlerence to their value, Ihe little minute particles of time, till golden hours, and days and year are wasted, the treasures of life all sea tu-red, and Death finds nothing bul a poor naked and useless thing at tho last. SVK SAVR SAVE I What i there man cannot save and improve By curbing apjietile, and n'atrsining passion by observing prudence and maintaining regularity, he may save his health husband hi strength and thus preserve the springs of life, as constant fountain of energy and happiness to sustain and cherish him under every labor and every hardship. He may save a fortune by industry and denying himself of needless indulgence, and ho may find a pure enjoyment in devoting it to noble usea. Time ihe indolent might make wealth of it the moat industrious improve upon their use of it. tt comes lo u in brief minute to show us that present application ia the sale duty required of us; yet these so weave in and mako up our day and years, that misimproveinent of the present, is always at tlte expense of Iho future. One of Ihe hour each dsy wasted on tritles or in indolence, saved, and daily de. voted to improvement, ia enough to make an ignorant man wise in ten year to provide the luxury of intelligence to a mind torpid from lack of thought to brighten up and strengthen faculties perishing with rust tn make life a fruitful field, and deatii a harvester of glorious deeds.
